__Overview__
Long Island Creek Site 1B is located within a well established, medium-density residential development surrounded by high-density business and utility development. The adjacent watershed has mature plant growth, grass lawns, mature trees, and established English ivy along the sloped terrain. Recent tree-trimming has occurred, and recently created mulch was evident along the steep slope. Access to the site is narrow and leads down into a grove. Overgrown shrubs enclose the study area at the exit of the culvert. The sharp slope of the culvert focuses the draining water to one point, which has suffered erosion. The erosion remediation measures include a cluster of large stones. The eroded pit covered with stones hold the pool of water. Due to the plant overgrowth and mature trees, sunlight does not penetrate the site, nor does wind; thus, evaporation is much more gradual than at the other sites. The water disperses through the initial downhill drainage during a storm or through ground percolation overtime.
